Some students are bringing home their math books tonight to finish some math work. They are working on solving the following questions using 2 strategies (base ten blocks and stacking) so that they can confirm that their answers are correct. 162 + 154 = 564 + 137 = 334 + 478 = 324 + 777 = 847 + 982 = We will be going over these questions tomorrow. It is okay if your child makes a mistake while working through the questions as we are learning to correct our mistakes. Thanks!
MATH: We learned a new game called 'Don't Break the Bank' to practice our addition skills. We are continuing to explore growing/increasing patterns. We are learning to use charts to display patterns and analyze the pattern to determine a pattern rule. LANGUAGE ARTS: We are beginning our new writing unit on Narrative Writing and we are starting off by looking at how to create an Engaging Beginning. We looked at four different strategies: starting with an ACTION, DIALOGUE, SOUND EFFECT, and THOUGHTS/ FEELINGS. SCIENCE: We have been looking at how sound moves as a vibration. We conducted an experiment to visualize vibrations by pointing a vibrating tuning fork at salt on a tightly pulled surface. SOCIAL STUDIES: We are learning about Peru. We are watching a video about school in Peru and learning how to pick out the important information to write down as jot notes. Ask we learn more about Peru we compare it to India and Canada. PHYS ED: Gymnastics is continuing. P...
Thank you so much for the overwhelming response to join us on our Field Trip to Frank Slide. We now have enough volunteers. We will have a few more field trips later this year if you did not get a chance to volunteer for this one. Again, Thanks so much!
